Spoilers are strictly prohibited. Anything already revealed up to the latest episode of a series is fair game. Anything related to the manga that has not happened in an anime is considered a spoiler and must be put in spoiler tags and not be reflected in titles.

No warez. Considering the already grey area of our nature, we do not want to bring any more risk by the discussion of warez. If it is related to anime, such as ripping and backing up your DVD's, fansubbing, video playback help, etc. it can be discussed as long as the topic remains within the world of anime and manga.
